Hotel Ambassador — Hotel in Gujarat

Vadodara has an array of hotels for different price points.

I was travelling solo this time and did not have stringent criteria, something you have while you travel with family. This time, I had the following criteria in my mind for choosing a hotel:

1. Proximity to the railway station
2. Hygiene and cleanliness of the premises
3. Decent food at the property
4. Good WiFi connection
5. Budget stay within the range of 1.2-1.8k per night

Considering the above points, I chose Hotel Ambassador still being in dilemma about my decision. As my stay was for 5 days, I initially booked for only 2 days and decided that I would shift if I was dissatisfied with the property. To my surprise, Hotel Ambassador ticked all the boxes.

I called the hotel and made the booking instead of any travel website. This ensured that I get 24 hour check in/check out facility. I chose Deluxe room which had complimentary breakfast. The room was very clean and the washroom did not have any foul smell or stains.

Here are the points which impressed me and was unexpected for me at a budget property:

1. Decent complimentary breakfast option in veg and non veg. It may not be a huge spread but it was enough for me to choose different options for 5 days
2. Daily cleaning of rooms, bathrooms and changing of bedsheets
3. Superb internet speed. This forced me to not look for any other hotel since I was skeptical if I would get similar speed in other property
4. Spacious room without any issue of pests or insects
5. Courteous staff who were very mindful of my food and also helped me if I had to choose anything customized for meals
6. Decent menu for the meals. The options were great and they had every all the items available from the menu. Often at budget hotels, you hardly get what you see in the menu.
7. Decent food taste. The food was a hit and a miss. I understand that the restaurant food is bound to be oily and spicy and that was fine for me. But I did not suffer upset stomach during my 5 day stay. They definitely need to improve their Chinese food taste as the fried rice and noodles felt mushy and less dry.
8. Very courteous behavior from the owner. You can definitely go downstairs and strike a conversation with him.
9. Finally, they have their own snacks and sweet shop at the ground floor. You can always visit and enjoy tasty snacks. The owner was honest enough to mention that Jagdish Farsan was probably the best snacks shop in Vadodara instead of praising their own shop. Definitely try their caramel custard and dry fruit sweets

All in all, it was a very comfortable, disturbance free...

In January of this year-2017-I spent two nights at this hotel and it was satisfactory.Check-in was handled promptly and the room that I was given was reasonably clean,though a little on the small side.However,for 1500 Rupees-including taxes-it was good value.The room,however,could have been cleaner-together with the en-suite.There is no restaurant here but the hotel is reasonably close to a number of decent places to eat.The hotel will organise a taxi to take you to the nearby sights of Champaner and Pavagadh but I went instead by Government bus-much cheaper...although one of the staff members at reception seemed a bit put-out that I went that way instead of availing of a taxi organised by the hotel....All-in-all I was reasonably satisfied with my stay at this hotel,the main reasons being that it was cheap and very close to...

Near to Baroda railway station with a walk of just 5 to 10 minutes.

Rooms clean and neat and very big with a Balcony for every room which is rare nowadays for any Hotel. Bathrooms clean.
